This document describes the major features, purpose, and function of the HSV210 and
HSV200 controllers. Each Enterprise Virtual Array has a pair of these controllers.

High availability features
Two interconnected controllers ensure that the failure of a controller component does not
disable the system. A single controller can fully support an entire system until the
defective controller, or controller component, is repaired. For EVA8000 configurations
with more than four disk drive enclosures, the complete data redundancy configuration
includes two Loop A and two Loop B data paths. For EVA4000 and EVA6000
configurations, data redundancy is accomplished with two Loop A data paths.
Each HSV210 controller has two lead-acid cache battery assemblies that provide power
to the cache memory while each HSV200 controller has one. Each battery assembly has
three lead-acid, non–spillable cells. When both battery assemblies are fully charged, they
can provide power to the cache for up to 96 hours.
Operator control panel
The operator control panel (OCP) provides a direct interface to each controller. From the
OCP you can display storage system status and configuration information, shut down the
storage system, and manage the password. The OCP includes a 40-character LCD
alphanumeric display, six pushbuttons, and five status indicators See Figure 32. HP
Command View EVA is the tool you will typically use to display storage system status
and configuration information or perform the tasks available from the OCP. However, if
HP Command View EVA is not available, the OCP can be used to perform these tasks.

5 - Enter
Status indicators
The status indicators indicate the internal status of the controller, as described in
document HP StorageWorks EVA 4000, 6000, 8000 - OCP Indicators . During initial
setup, the status indicators might not be fully operational.
Navigation buttons
The information displayed by the OCP, the data you can enter, and the navigation push
button functions depend on the alphanumeric display mode.
To simplify presentation and to avoid confusion, the push button reference names,
regardless of labels, are left , right , top , and bottom .
LCD
The two LCD rows display up to 20 alphanumeric characters per row. The LCD
alternates between displaying the Storage System Name and the World Wide Node (see
Figure 5).
NOTE: An active (flashing) display, an error condition message, or a user entry
(pressing a push button) overrides the default display. When none of these
conditions exist, the default display is active after approximately 15 seconds.

• The System Info and Fault Management menus are used to display information
only. You cannot change any operating parameters from these menus. Information
about the Fault Management menu HP StorageWorks EVA 4000, 6000, 8000 -
Controller Fault Management
• The Shutdown System menu lets you implement the procedure for shutting down
the system in a logical, sequential manner. Using the Shutdown System procedure
maintains data integrity and avoids the possibility of losing or corrupting data.
• The System Password lets you create a system password to ensure that only
authorized personnel can modify system operation and functions from HP
Command View EVA.
1. The default display alternates between the Storage System Name display and the
World Wide Node display. Push any push button to return to the Storage System
Menu Tree display.

Displaying system information
NOTE: The purpose of this information is to assist the HP-authorized service
representative when servicing your system.
The system information displays show the system configuration including the XCS
version, the OCP firmware and application programming interface (API) versions, and
the enclosure address bus programmable integrated circuit (PIC) configuration. You can
only view, not change, this information.
When there is no activity for approximately 5 seconds, the display automatically returns
to the default display.
NOTE: Activity is either an active error report or pressing a push button.

NOTE: The terms PPC, Sprite, Glue, SDC, CBIC, and Atlantis are for development
purposes and have no significance for normal operation.When viewing the
software or firmware version information, pressing displays the Versions
Menu tree.
To display System Information:
1. The default display alternates between the Storage System Name display and the
World Wide Node display.
Press any push button to select the Storage System Menu Tree display.
2. Press until the desired Versions Menu option appears, and then press or
to move to sub–menu items per the System information functions table .
To ensure that you do not mistakenly activate a shutdown procedure, the default state is
always NO , indicating do not implement this procedure . As a safeguard, implementing
any shutdown method requires you to complete at least two actions.
Shutdown methods
LCD prompt Description
Restart Implementing this procedure establishes communications between the
System? storage system and HP Command View EVA. This procedure is used
to restore the controller to an operational state where it can
communicate with HP Command View EVA.
Power off Implementing this procedure initiates the sequential removal of
system? controller power. This ensures no data is lost. The reasons for
implementing this procedure include replacing a drive enclosure.
Uninitialize? Implementing this procedure will cause the loss of all data. For a
detailed discussion of this procedure, see Uninitializing the System.
Shutting the controller down
Use the following procedure to access the Shutdown System display and execute a
shutdown procedure.
NOTE: HP Command View EVA is the preferred method for shutting down the
controller. Shut down the controller from the OCP only if HP Command
View EVA cannot communicate with the controller. Shutting down the
controller from the OCP removes power from the controller on which the
procedure is performed only. To restore power, toggle the controller’s power
switch.
CAUTION: If you decide NOT to power off while working in the Power Off menu,
Power Off System NO must be displayed before you press Esc . This
reduces the risk of accidentally powering down.
No user input is required. The system will automatically initiate the startup procedure and
proceed to load the Storage System Name and node World Wide Name information from
the operational controller.
Uninitializing the system
Uninitializing the system is another way to shut down the system. This action causes the
loss of all storage system data. Because HP Command View EVA cannot communicate
with the disk drive enclosures, the stored data cannot be accessed.
CAUTION:Uninitializing the system destroys all user data. The WWN will remain in
the controller unless both controllers are powered off. The password will be
lost. If the controllers remain powered on until you create another storage
system (initialize via GUI), you will not have to re-enter the WWN.
Use the following procedure to uninitialize the system.
Password options
The password entry options are:
Changing a password
For security reasons, you may need to change a storage system password. Your password
must contain eight alphanumeric characters consisting of any combination of the
uppercase letters A through Z and the lowercase letters a through z.
Use the following procedure to change the password.
NOTE: Changing a system password on the controller requires changing the password
on any HP Command View EVA with access to the storage system.
Clearing a password
Use the following procedure to remove storage system password protection.
NOTE: Changing a system password on the controller requires changing the password
on any HP Command View EVA with access to the storage system.
NOTE: These indicators do not indicate whether there is communication on the link,
only whether the link can transmit and receive data.
The data connections are the interfaces to the disk drive enclosures or loop switches
(depending on your configuration), the other controller, and the fabric. Fiber optic cables
link the controllers to the fabric, and, if an expansion cabinet is part of the configuration,
link the expansion cabinet drive enclosures to the loop switches in the main cabinet.
Copper cables are used between the controllers (mirror port) and between the controllers
and the drive enclosures or loop switches.
